Claude-Goblin Discusses tome
What follows about tome is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.
An entire goblin heist crew specializes in tome-adjacent jobs: getting close, taking nothing, leaving subtly improved. The crew's leader insists this is not theft but 'curation.'
Variant Goblin Readings of secret
Goblin children, when introduced to secret, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.
Goblins and engine
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on engine: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
The Goblin Verdict on tome
Tradition demands that the final word on tome be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
